Heat pumps maintain steady temperatures throughout your home—eliminating the hot and cold spots common with gas furnaces. Every room stays cozy in winter and cool in summer, giving your family year-round comfort.
Heat pumps circulate and filter your home’s air continuously, reducing dust, allergens, and airborne particles. Many Bainbridge Island homeowners notice fewer seasonal allergy symptoms and improved indoor air quality after switching to a heat pump system.
Modern high-efficiency heat pumps operate whisper-quiet—indoors and outdoors. You’ll enjoy a more peaceful home environment with far less noise than window AC units or older forced-air systems.
Because they move heat rather than generate it, heat pumps use significantly less energy than traditional systems. This high efficiency translates to lower monthly utility bills for Bainbridge Island homeowners.
Heat pumps are a two-in-one system—providing both heating and air conditioning. That means you can stay cool during hot Bainbridge Island summers without needing a separate AC system.

Bainbridge Island homeowners who are PSE electricity customers and are converting their existing heating source to an efficient heat pump system. Site conditions (electrical panel, ductwork, equipment location) may affect eligibility. Enrollment is limited and first-come, first-served.
High-efficiency, all-electric heat pumps that meet program performance standards and are installed by participating contractors. Options include central ducted and whole-home ductless mini-split systems; we’ll recommend the best fit during your evaluation.
Eligible Bainbridge homeowners may access up to $12,000 in combined savings, including up to $8,400 in PSE incentives (instant), potential federal tax credits up to $2,000, manufacturer rebates (seasonal), and Home Comfort Alliance partner savings.

Yes. The program has limited funding and capacity. Incentives are available on a first-come, first-served basis and may change without notice—apply early to secure your spot.
Flex Plus typically requires an approved smart thermostat and enrollment in limited, utility-managed comfort events. These events optimize energy use while maintaining home comfort. We’ll confirm thermostat options and participation details during your consultation.
Some homes may need a panel upgrade, dedicated circuits, or duct repairs/resizing to meet airflow specs. Your free evaluation outlines any required work and pricing before you decide.
Ducted systems use existing or new ductwork to serve the whole home; ductless mini-splits - offer many of the same benefits without needing ductwork. We’ll recommend what best suits your layout, comfort goals, and budget.
Yes. Today’s cold-climate heat pumps deliver comfortable supply temperatures at low outdoor temps. Proper sizing, defrost control, and—if desired—backup heat ensure reliable winter performance.
In many cases, yes. Depending on eligibility, PSE incentives can be combined with manufacturer promotions and federal tax credits. Your consultant will outline stackable savings and the documentation needed.
Equipment typically includes manufacturer warranties on parts and a labor warranty from the installer. Annual maintenance (filter changes, coil cleaning, system check) helps maintain efficiency and warranty coverage.
Compact outdoor units and wall-mounted ductless heads provide flexible placement options. We can suggest compliant locations and provide documentation for HOA approval.
Most installations are completed in 1–2 days, including removal of old equipment, required electrical/ductwork, full system commissioning, and a homeowner walkthrough.
*Eligibility, incentive amounts, and program terms are subject to change. Final approval occurs at enrollment and installation review.
